About The Position

The GISP Governance organization brings together Security & Privacy Governance, Privacy Assurance, and Client Assurance functions into a unified trust and assurance model. The organization is responsible for establishing and maintaining foundational governance, security, privacy, awareness, and assurance capabilities that support both internal governance objectives and external client trust activities. GISP Assurance primarily operates as a governance and assurance function focused on establishing standards, enabling consistency, supporting transparency, and operationalizing trust across the organization. In selected areas, particularly within Privacy Governance, the organization also performs operational assurance and coordination activities necessary to support evolving regulatory, client, and business requirements. As a Manager of Security Governance, Sales Enablement, and Privacy, you will provide dedicated leadership and operational ownership across critical functions that drive revenue enablement, strengthen regulatory posture, and support organizational stability. You will lead the Security & Privacy Sales Enablement function, enabling scalable, consistent engagement with Sales, clients, and cross-functional partners including Legal, Privacy, Product Security, and Cloud Operations. This role ensures effective support for client assurance activities, helping accelerate sales cycles while maintaining alignment with established security, privacy, and governance standards. You will oversee intake, triage, prioritization, and delivery coordination for client-facing security and privacy requests, ensuring timely, accurate, and risk-aligned responses across contractual, regulatory, and assurance-related inquiries. Acting as a central coordination point between Sales and internal stakeholders, you will balance client expectations with business objectives and operational scalability. Additionally, you will partner closely with Privacy and Governance teams to support global privacy requirements, including client inquiries, DPA coordination, and alignment with privacy frameworks, driving consistency, efficiency, and standardized engagement practices across the organization.
